Comparative Study of Viscoelastic Arterial Wall Models in Nonlinear One-Dimensional Finite Element Simulations of Blood Flow
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: It is well known that blood vessels exhibit viscoelastic properties, which are modeled in the literature with different mathematical forms and experimental bases. The wide range of existing ...
Impact of Patient-Specific Inflow Velocity Profile on Hemodynamics of the Thoracic Aorta
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) provides a noninvasive method to functionally assess aortic hemodynamics. The thoracic aorta has an anatomically complex inlet comprising of the aortic valve and root, which is highly ...
Comparative Analysis between Distracted Driving Texting Laws and Driver’s Behavior in Construction Work Zones
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The increased use of smartphones during the last decade has resulted in thousands of crashes per year in the United States and its territories. Drivers’ usage increases are particularly concerning in highway work zones ...
Computational Simulations for Aortic Coarctation: Representative Results From a Sampling of Patients
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Treatments for coarctation of the aorta (CoA) can alleviate blood pressure (BP) gradients (Δ), but long-term morbidity still exists that can be explained by altered indices of hemodynamics and ...
